The last week and a bit have been one of truth. I have had to reconcile myself to certain unavoidable truths. The sinking in and settling of things I wanted to avoid, but none the less are true. In any case it was at the same time crushing and freeing. So I haven't exactly been up to writing the last little bit. Well I am back and I find myself in front of this comp on yet another Wednesday, and much like last Wednesday I have another stack of new comics. This week like last week was another winner.

The Dark tower
This week saw the first release in the Dark tower comics series. I have been anxiously waiting for this comic now for a while. I was a huge fan of Stephen Kings books and just hope that this series will keep up to the same quality, and after this first issue it certainly looks like it will.The story flows much as one would hope it would and the language of the original is maintained by all star writer Peter David. The art, god the art is fucking phenomenal. Each panel just oozes detail and the expressions on each characters face are amazing. Now it is just a matter of seeing if this high level is maintained.




















The New Avengers #27
Can you say splash pages!!! Man this was a quick read. It went down so fast I had to go back and read it again. This series looks like it is going to be very good. I mean this first post civil war issue is chalk full of ninjas, ninjas, and more ninjas. It was a veritable smorgasbord of crazy ninja action. Then to top it all off the new avengers pop up and we get to see the new team in action for the first time. It always helps of course having Elektra as the antagonist of this arc. I was hesitant about picking this one up as I am trying to cut back on some titles but jesus after this I just can't cut it.
